About DANSTOCK

DANSTOCK is the vision of Dan Stock, a longtime member of Chicago's music scene who lost his battle with melanoma in 2013. Stock hoped to use his art form to gather like-minded people who want to help find a cure for a disease that affects so many people.

Dan performed in the band, Bruiser, and was a producer at Uptown Recording, where he helped dozens of bands create albums for the local music scene. The inaugural event featured four bands who recorded with Stock.

Along with his passion for music, he was an avid sports fan, a loyal friend with an infectious laugh, and most importantly, a loving husband and father to his wife, Angie and daughter, Charlie. He lived with purpose and his absence is felt within the music community and among family and friends.

The DANSTOCK benefit continues under the supervision of Angie and many close friends.
